Nicolai K. Knudsen

I’m a philosopher, working on social ontology, phenomenology, and practical philosophy. I'm currently an Assistant Professor in Philosophy at Aarhus University, and before that, I was a Carlsberg Junior Research Fellow at Linacre College, Oxford.

My main interest concerns the ontological, epistemological, and moral dimensions of social interaction. Combining analytical, phenomenological, and critical methods, I have written on social cognition, joint action, social normativity, and the moral responsibility of groups. Recently, I have been exploring how these social philosophical issues can help us better understand our relations to AIs and non-human animals as well as the nature of discrimination.
